Valletta Walking Tour - Guide Matthew - This was a brilliant tour in a very beautiful city. I dont think there is another city with so much to see in such a small area, the guide Matthew was very knowledgeable and had an answer for any question, this made the tour feel very smooth as he could effortlessly move from one topic to another. Which was convenient as nearly every building we walked past had a long and interesting history through many different eras. I would highly recommend this tour for everyone.

Walking in Valetta - Well paced with a break in the middle. Mathew was a great guide. Lots of knowledge and willing to answer any questions. Use of photographs to show changes thru time was great.

Exceptional Walking Tour with tour guide, Julia - My two friends and I were visiting Malta for the first time and decided to join the free walking tour of Valletta on our first day. Our guide, Julia, was absolutely exceptional. She had a captivating, theatrical style and delivered Valletta’s history in an engaging and entertaining way that kept us fully absorbed. Her passion for Malta and its history was evident throughout the tour. Julia didn’t rush to finish after the scheduled 90 minutes—instead, she extended the tour by another 30 minutes to wrap things up thoroughly. We highly recommend Julia and her Valletta walking tour!!

Wonderful tour - Matteo was the loveliest guide filled with so much knowledge about Valletta and Malta in general. I learned a lot from this tour and explored parts of Valletta that I might not have seen or know the significance on my own. Highly recommend a tour with Matteo!

Excellent Tour - A wonderful introduction to Valletta and to the history of Malta. You’ll appreciate so much more about the place if you take this tour first. Our guide, Matthew, is excellent, lucidly explaining how the places we visit fit in to the history of Malta. By the end, his presentation has given us an overview of the fascinating history of the place.
